To All Southwestern Alumni
From Mr. Bornt;
To all Southwestern Alumni,
It is with
a touch of sadness that I must say good bye to a part of the Southwestern
community after 13 years. When this
season concludes on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, so does the only
uniform girls’ basketball has worn in my tenure as coach.
Approximately
130 young women have worn this uniform proudly since its conception in November
2000. That is almost 200 games
played. Some we won, some we lost, and
one was the very first CIF play-off victory in Southwestern girls’ basketball
history.
So why all
this fuss over a shiny piece of cloth worn only 15-20 times a school year? Well, that piece of cloth is what connects
you all together as a family. No matter
who you are, when you attended, what your background or reason for attending
Southwestern, how long you played from one game or seven years, or where you
are even today; current student, college student, college graduate,
professional career woman, wife, mother, or combination of the above. You are all a part of this uniform and its
history, as it is a part of yours.
Please
understand this is not to slight or forget those who came before, or those who
are still to come. It is only the
closing of one chapter of an 88 year old story that is continually growing.
If I didn’t
say it enough then, Thank You for all your effort, time, sweat, tears, and yes
on occasion... blood. Next year the
tradition will continue, we’ll just look a little different.
